inspired by... well, i guess it's quite obvious... anyway. borrowed a line from stuzzo ("bruised sky" ... i promise i won't use it if it becomes a song)

dead soldiers dreams (by deav)
Rio, Mai 2006
(just lyrics)

in pieces in dirt they lie
made mud by blood and tears
like in sleep they die
sweet faces hold no fear

lives taken no longer a burden
on their shoulders, for their souls
have carried them, and under
a bruised sky death wave flows

can the open eyes that blindly stare
at nothing, visions hold still
of past sunsets and loving care
and dreams as unlikely as real?

in shallow honor they perished, but fear
not forgiveness should they
a voice of compassion to millions of ears
sings reckoning at the dawn of the day

it sings of dead soldiers dreams
of waste, suicide, dragons and waves
but of love and hope it also sings
of heart and desire where life stays

I love it. I'm honoured that what I wrote inspired you in whatever small way it did, and you're 100% welcome to use it. I love that you've taken these influences and made them your own.

im liking it
